A group of 15 finalists will be chosen from the entry submissions. They will be randomly placed into three groups.

Each will be filmed performing their composition and the public will decide upon a winner for the three groups.

A judging panel, including Bowen Mountain recording artist Imogen Clark, will then determine the winner.

They will receive and exciting prize pack, which includes the recording of a two-track single and a performance on the main stage on each day of this year’s Hawkesbury Show [April 20, 21 and 22]. Full prize pack announced in coming weeks.

Entrants must be available for filming by the Gazette from March 12 to 17 (excluding March 14).

To enter, send a link to a video or sound file of yourself playing an original track and a brief write-up about yourself to mlawrence@fairfaxmedia.com.au. Entries close Wednesday, February 28.
